Is it acceptable to type drug dosages with the number but not the unit of measure. For example Zocor 10 every night. I believe this may be confused with 10 pills instead of mg. What's acceptable on a verbatim account?

"chemotherapy." It makes no sense as there are hundreds of medications (where you would hear dosages) that comprise chemotherapy. Would you rather be corrected by people who are not paid to help you, or would you rather your QA catch a blunder like this? Up to you.

You might find assurance in the fact that (according to QuickLook) Lortab is only available with 500 along with the 5, so the 500 might be understood. But, I would flag if you are unsure.
Medication dosages, QA marking wrong both ways!
Subject: Medication dosages, QA marking wrong both ways!
Good afternoon everyone. I'm in need of some second opinions please. When typing medication dosages, I have always transcribed them the same way for the last 12-1/2 years. For example, Lortab 5 mg q.4h. p.r.n. pain.
I have worked for the same company for a little over two years now and have never had QA say anything about this until last month, when I got a QA audit marking it off and changing it to Lortab 5 mg q. 4h. p.r.n. (with a space between the q. and the 4h.) I thought okay, maybe I've been transcribing it incorrectly all lthis time and a new QA person picked up on it. It happens, no big deal.
So, I started transcribing it their way with the space, as in q. 4h. and didn't think anything more about it. Yesterday, I get another audit. This time, I get dinged for typing it the way they wanted it the last audit q. 4h. with the space with a note stating it should be q.4h. with no space (the way I had been typing it).
 Now, I know they have been messing with all of the MTs big time lately, making changes daily from everything to hours, pay, policies, and procedures for vacation, days off, etc. You name it, they've been doing it, and I really think they are trying to either find a reason to fire some of us or drive us to the point of insanity until we quit, but despite the games, I still want to make sure I'm doing my job correctly. If I've been doing something wrong, I would like to correct it ASAP, except now I have no idea which one is correct.
Sorry for the long, drawn out post, but I'm totally confused now and beyond frustrated. Now, I'm questioning myself on everything, and I have no idea which way is correct as far the space or no space with the medication dosages. Thank you for taking the time to read my question and rant. I would appreciate any and all opinions on how you all transcribe this!

Generic/Name Brands

Generic vs Brand.
Subject: Generic vs Brand.
The expander software I use is part of Softmed. It has 2 lines to put your abbreviations in. I type in a drug in lower case in the short form part and the drug as it should appear in the long form part. IE...I would put "ativan" in the short form line and "Ativan" in the long form line. Then all I ever have to do is just type the drug in all lower case and it will auto cap from my expanders. You have to do this for every drug that you find, but when you are all done, you won't have to worry about generic or brand. This works for any drug from Avelox to Zoloft and in between. I hope this helps.
